Still swinging out of your shoes and finding the trees? π
Let's fix that.
ποΈββοΈ WEEKLY COACHING TIP: More distance AND more fairways
Most golfers think power comes from swinging harder. It doesn't. It comes from swinging better. Here are three things we work on with almost every player on the lesson tee:
1οΈβ£ Tee it higher than you think
Half the ball above the crown of your driver. This encourages a slight upward strike, which launches the ball higher with less spin. Same swing speed, more carry. Free yards, honestly.
2οΈβ£ Widen your stance and add a little tilt
Feet just outside shoulder width. Then let your trail shoulder sit slightly lower than your lead shoulder at address. That small tilt sets you up to hit up on the ball instead of chopping down on it.
3οΈβ£ Swing at 80 percent
This is the one nobody wants to hear. Try a few drives at what feels like 80 percent effort and watch what happens. Better contact off the centre of the face beats a wild lash every single time. Centre strike is the real distance secret. π―
π Your drill for the week:
Head to the range with 10 balls. Hit all 10 at 80 percent and pick a target line each time. Count how many finish in your imaginary fairway. Do it again next week and beat your score.
Small changes, big difference. Give it a go before your next round and let us know how you get on in the comments π

TWICE AS NICE ππ
Scottie Scheffler is a two-time FedExCup champion, and honestly, it never even felt close.
The man showed up at East Lake, went to work, and walked away with the biggest prize in golf for the second time. Cool, calm, and absolutely relentless from start to finish. π
Say what you want about the format, the pressure, or the field. When Scottie is playing like this, everyone else is just competing for second. β³οΈπ₯
So what do you think, is this the start of a Scheffler era or does someone finally step up next season? Drop your take in the comments π and tag the buddy who called it back in January.
